An exciting and challenging opportunity has arisen for a committed and enthusiastic individual to join the Employment and Training Unit (ETU) of Falkirk Council as a Programme Assistant.

Working from home and Grangemouth Municipal Chambers you will be responsible for a broad range of specialist administrative support functions as part of the Central Support Team.

It is essential that you are an excellent communicator, a team player and already possess an SVQ Level 2 in Business Administration or equivalent qualification. Previous administrative experience is essential as well as in-depth knowledge of creating and using management information systems.
